Still exclusive to Google/Samsung proprietary apps. AFAIK they also do extensive SafetyNet attestation checks, so it ~~isn't even possible~~ requires a bit of work (see below) to use RCS on a custom ROM like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, DivestOS, or LineageOS, or even a rooted stock OS. Unless that does a complete 180°, I'm sticking with Signal

Unfortunately they block old reddit for VPN users now

There are lots of recommendations for Herman Miller - just wanted to point out this is their CEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpYln4ZD0gk

I have a Herman Miller Aeron and kind of wish I had gotten SteelCase instead. Either a SteelCase Leap (any version), Gesture, or AMIA, they all seem nice.

There are some story-rich RPG shooters that are almost pre-2010 I could recommend, like maybe Dishonored or Fallout 3/New Vegas. But pre-2010 is tough, only ones I can think of are the System Shock or maybe Thief games.

How detailed is .world's IP logging? I'm sure many privacy-minded users think that's important to know before disabling their VPNs.

Additionally, would it be possible to allow posts/comments that don't have any links or images? Or does even that introduce too much risk?

I got NV modded up through the Viva New Vegas guide, so hopefully that fixes the crashes for me. Figuring out how to mod it on linux was surprisingly easy too, thanks to the MO2 linux installer on github.

There's no way I'm finishing them all in 1yr, but these are currently on the list (PC/Steam Deck):

  • Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
  • Subnautica
  • American Truck Simulator
  • Fallout: New Vegas
  • Stardew Valley
  • The Witcher 3
  • Slay the Spire
  • Terraria

50/50 chance this breaks Deck and linux support, especially since the commenters' inquiries about it have gone unanswered.

Bogles my mind why a PvE game needs an anti-cheat at all - let alone something as invasive as a rootkit.

I'm perpetually playing Deep Rock Galactic, Halo MCC, and Team Fortress 2, but besides those, here are some other games I played in the last 30 days:

Desktop (Pop!_OS)

  • CarX Drift Racing Online (2017) - way more difficult than I expected, but fun once you get the hang of it
  • Hylics 2 (2020) - incredible art and soundtrack
  • Landfall Archives (free - 2023) - nice collection of demos from one of my favorite indie dev studios
  • Left 4 Dead 2 (2009) - went back and played with some friends, still awesome
  • MUCK (free - 2021) - tried this out with a few friends, very fun
  • Outlast (2013) - finally completed this classic and loved it
  • POSTAL 2 (2003) - not a game I'd recommend to everyone, but if you're the type of person who would enjoy this type of humor, then you'll really enjoy it

Steam Deck

  • American Truck Simulator (2016) - nice game to chill out to
  • Finding Paradise (2017) - incredible story
  • Totally Accurate Battle Simulator (2021) - also a nice game to chill out to, but some levels are a lot more difficult than expected (not a bad thing)
  • Vampire Survivors (2022) - I am so addicted please help

If you need Android Auto, the closest thing you'll get is LineageOS with some sort of GApps, but those are far from the "privacy and security first" goals of GrapheneOS.

If you are looking for something private/"FOSS-focused" and don't need Android Auto, I like CalyxOS a lot, and have heard good things about DivestOS.

I strongly dislike Epic as a company, but at least Heroic Games Launcher makes the experience tolerable. And free is free, but for anything paid, I'm always willing to pay extra to own on Steam/GOG instead

We've been giving our cats a mix of dry/wet food (mostly dry...), but want to switch to 100% wet, since it is better for their kidneys.

We're also trying to avoid Purina/Fancy Feast/Friskies, since they're owned by Nestlé.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Edit: shoot, apparently Sheba and Royal Canin are owned by Mars, which isn't much better.

 

Disclaimer: I am just a random stranger on the internet who likes uBlock Origin, read a handy comment, and figured out how to press F12. I am by no means a webpage expert, and these changes may have unintended consequences

I wanted to bring more attention to @[email protected]'s comment on how to block entire instances (not just specific communities on those instances) from your "all communities" feed, as well as add my own method to block them from the "list of communities" page.

This only works if you are using a web browser that supports uBlock Origin (so unfortunately, will not work on any of the mobile apps).

Firstly, install uBlock Origin if you haven't already. Then, click on the uBlock extension icon -> "Gears" (settings) icon -> My Filters. Per @[email protected], add:

your.lemmy.instance.com##.post-listing:has-text(@theInstanceYouWantToBlock.com)

Then click "Apply Changes"

So if I were not interested in any of lemmynsfw.com's content, I would add:

lemmy.world##.post-listing:has-text(@lemmynsfw.com)

@[email protected]'s ELI5 explanation:

lemmy.world## - only use this filter on this site

.post-listing - evaluate everything on the page with the class name post-listing

has-text(@lemmynsfw.com) - the text we want to filter. CASE SENSITIVE!

Similarly, if you want to filter entire instances out of the "list of communities" page, you would add:

your.lemmy.instance.com##tr:has-text(@theInstanceYouWantToBlock)

I believe the tr is table-responsive, which is the type of table displayed on the "list of communities" page. If there are other responsive tables on a different Lemmy page that I don't know about, it may affect those. Also, if Lemmy's website is updated, these filters may no longer work.

If someone knows of a better method of doing this, please chime in. But otherwise, enjoy!

Why YSK: some instances have many communities that are centered around topics people are not interested in, and instead of blocking all of those communities one by one, it is easier to just block the whole instance.

Edit: Note that this will remove posts if a blocked instance is listed ANYWHERE in the post body. I accidentally blocked my own post when I tested the lemmynsfw filter just now lol
